first i have a hatch with a b18c in it on 17 c2. this is my question; when the temp is around 6of i have massive hose power, but when the temp is around 80f it seem like i loss a lot of hose power. i wanted to know why is this and what can i do about it? i was thinking i could change the air temp sensor or move my timing. right now i have my timing set some what advance.(the ignition is almost all the way to the front. is this my problem? please let me know tx!

I don't understand most of what you wrote, but the reason cold air is better is because it is denser-more oxygen. Changing the air intake temperature sensor won't really give you more power. As far as your timing goes, if the distributor is turned towards the front of the car, that is retarded. Looking at the distributor from the right fender, clockwise is retard, counterclockwise is advance. Get a timing light, or borrow one.
